Hi Thierry,

So it built the C:\TEST\DEV\MyClient... folder tree. The http://foxincloud.com/tutotest/ wasn't of help to me; sorry. After running the FAS, I was hoping for some documentation how to then run it in the browser. I chose a super simple query-only-reporting project, and the FAA said it was less than a day of conversion. Again, super simple project--it just runs 3 reports.

I looked at http://foxincloud.com/pdf/FoxInCloud-How-to-azTutoAll-en.pdf too but it didn't help me understand how to move from running the FAS to actually seeing this run in the browser.

Suggestions? I'd really like to make this work. I talked with Tuvia last year but the cost to have him train me was out of my budget (although I'm sure he's worth it).

Thanks, --Mike

Hi Mike,

you need to:

• d/l & install FAA and FAS
• write a simple project with startup program and a form, and go through the 3 FAA steps.

This will build an adapted class library ('xxx.vcx') that you will use as baseclass for your further forms, and 2 local servers, xxxTest and xxxProd.

You'll find a bunch of resources on our site, plus FoxInCloud live tutorial (http://foxincloud.com/tutotest/) that you can browse on line and locally through the FoxinCloud menu in 'FoxInCloud Web Application Studio'. Full source code is in home(1) + 'tools\AB\AW\Samples\FIC\FicTuto'

You'll also have a 'tastrader' demo app that you can adapt using the 'A-Z tutorial' (http://foxincloud.com/pdf/FoxInCloud-How-to-azTutoAll-en.pdf)

I wish you a nice trip!

Hi Thierry,

I'd like to create a brand new simple demo project using FoxInCloud. This would be totally new, and not a conversion of anything.

How should I proceed, and how long of a trial period do I have? I'm hoping this is as simple as me writing some simple screen and launching it inside the browser.

Please advise...thanks! --Mike

(Thierry requested I post this here instead of a direct email, for the sharing value)

Which FAA steps did you complete ?

Hi Thierry,

Went a little further today and did the Adapt step. Got errors when doing it though. Here's the log file: http://www2.mbsoftwaresolutions.com/downloads/mbss_reports.pjx-Awadapter-Tes...

Today's latest attempt starts at 06/11/2017 06:39 PM in the log file. I've copied them below at the bottom too for discussion here. Is it a problem that when I do declarations, I specify the type? For example: FUNCTION MyFunc(tcName as String, tiAge as Integer) as Variant

Ugh. Everywhere in my subroutine calls I've used "Variable as Type". Ok. I'll remove them for this test.

After this is done, will I simply launch my browser and there it is?

Hi Mike,

FAA just updated on site, please restart (auto update d/l), re-adapt using the ‘copy all’ option.

Please feedback if this fixes your issues.

Thanks

you can keep it this way, we’ll fix tomorrow; as you’re working in test (aka copy) mode, once it’s fixed, you’ll simply re-copy and re-adapt That’s what copy mode is for.

you need to switch to source mode and go through all 3 steps, including manual adaptations.

however, you can also ‘test’ in copy mode after step 3 — you’ll only see your forms in the browser: without an adapted code, some functionalities won’t work.

DON’T ADAPT YOUR CODE IN COPY MODE AS IT CAN BE OVERWRITTEN (NEW COPY) AT ANY TIME.

This is the launcher setup program. Actual FAA is in sys(2007) + 'ab\aw'

Just restart FAA and let it update automatically

Hi Thierry,

The timestamp is still 2016: www2.mbsoftwaresolutions.com/downloads/faa_still_2016_timestamp.png

I ctrl+F5 to make sure the page refreshed (I didn't have the site open prior either).

Shouldn't the timestamp be today if you updated it? Just wanted to review this with you so as to not go through an exercise in futility on an assumption.

Thanks, --Mike

Ok. It said it updated 42 files (but version remained 2.24). Wanted to alert your team to the "What's New" post-it note sticking around even after I read the (empty) note. You guys might want to clean that up on a slow day. <g>

http://www2.mbsoftwaresolutions.com/downloads/faa_whatsnew_hanging_around.pn...

I'll get back to you shortly on this new conversion.

Thierry -- Here's the latest log results (7 errors): http://www2.mbsoftwaresolutions.com/downloads/mbss_reports.pjx-awadapter-tes...

Got caught by a nasty GoodSync setting that has overwritten new file by old file…

New version of FAA uploaded, should be OK now -- just restart and let it update automatically

please make sure to add "C:\dev\somerset\mbss.h" to your project (probably excluded). Once added to the project, FAA should copy it to the "Test" directory and compilation should find it.

Another point: from the log I see you've located your xxx.vcx in the FoxInCloud directory: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Tools\AB\mbss.vcx'. You should use this option only if you plan to share your 'xxx.vcx' across projects and you can't think of any other central location.

If you see this class library specific to this project, you should store it within the project directory

If you see it shared by projects under "C:\dev" you might prefer "C:\dev\mbss.vcx" or "C:\dev\shared\mbss.vcx"

However 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Tools\AB\mbss.vcx' works as, once adapted, your project depends on the FoxInCloud resources located in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\Tools\AB'

Hi Thierry,

Well, my thinking was that "I'm using FiC for THIS project, but I want to use it for OTHER projects as well potentially" so the wording in the advisement on location in the program sounded like I should use some common location (which suggested the Program Files... route). I'll change it to c:\dev\shared instead though, since as you noted, my dev work projects are all under c:\dev<ClientProject>.

Will let you know results shortly of latest version. Glad to help find any issues! ;-)

just tick the "No longer show this tip" check box fixed: don't show image if nothing new in this version

I'll get back to you shortly on this new conversion.
